Padma June 11, 2015 Share June 11, 2015 By the way, does anyone know anything about what went wrong --really-- with Craig Wayne Boyd? His debut was strong and he seemed to have a good following. Seemed like he and Borchetta parted with mutual bad feelings and in a pretty short time. I wonder what really happened there? Link to comment
pivot June 11, 2015 Share June 11, 2015 So Gwen is back for next season. I'm not sure how I feel about that. She's nice enough, but I didn't think she was that good a coach her first time around. https://celebrity.yahoo.com/news/voice-s9-coaches-revealed-162929116.html That might be enough for me to be done with the show. Gwen is like watching paint dry. So dull. She had nothing interesting to say and made the blind auditions snooze worthy. 5 Link to comment
viajero June 14, 2015 Share June 14, 2015 This is a really good interview with Kimberly NIchole. A lot of good behind the scenes stuff on her The Voice journey, plus some interesting discussion on the current state of the music industry. Among other things, it seems Joshua Davis helped hook her up with Slash, with whom she's performed after the show. Does Joshua know everyone in the industry? I still can`t believe Kimberly went out at Top 6. http://tvline.com/2015/06/14/kimberly-nichole-the-voice-season-8-interview/#comment-list-wrapper 1 Link to comment
dizzyizzy01 June 14, 2015 Share June 14, 2015 According to that article, the producers connected Kimberly with Slash as part of the planned homecoming episode. Pharrell encouraged her to pursue it post show which was really good advice. Josh tangentially knows Jack White though. That's pretty neat. It's also interesting that Christina was the one that encouraged Creep. Apparently Kim wanted to do Dirty Diana that week. Link to comment
mercfan3 June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 One...I think it's cool that Christina loved a Haley Reinhart performance. :) Two..yea..Joshua seems to be very connected. From what I know of that Michigan musician group, they tend to be very well connected, but seem to prefer to be just out of the spotlight (except for Darren Criss) when it comes to the music business.

viajero June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 It looks like NBC is doing what it can for Craig Wayne Boyd by giving him the Miss USA gig: http://www.examiner.com/article/the-voice-winner-craig-wayne-boyd-to-open-miss-usa-pageant The only problem is that Donald Trump then went and called Mexican immigrants "rapists".

I read that the Trump people would probably try to line up with Telemundo for the broadcast instead. The networks are going to have to be very careful about Donald Trump and things with The Donald's name on TV, now that he's officially announced he's running for president. Can you imagine how much equal time they'd have to provide, just for the Republican candidates? Edited June 26, 2015 by JeanneH Link to comment

waving feather July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 I think I'm more surprised they were only married 4 years. Seems way longer than that!That's probably because they dated for like 6 years before getting married. It's definitely sad because I like them both individually. I hope both of them are ready for the media shitstorm and tabloids in the upcoming months. It's surprising for me because they seemed so compatible and loving but also not surprising because both of them are out on the road and barely see each other. Miranda did stopped wearing her ring the past few weeks and cried at her concert this past weekend. Who knew. Poor Blake can't play the wife card anymore. Link to comment
Padma July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 How's it not surprising? I thought they were happy! It's not surprising to me because this is pretty typical when two people cheat on the married spouse. Even when they go on and it's serious and they get married, that's usually a beginning that ends up badly, imo. (At least legally separate before starting an affair,you know?) Accd. to TMZ, Blake was the one who filed, the terms are already worked out and the divorce becomes final today. Not sure if that's true, but if so, it's pretty amazing that they could keep it so very quiet for this long. http://www.tmz.com/2015/07/20/blake-shelton-miranda-lambert-divorce/ Link to comment

jah1986 July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 Wow that is fast! I guess it's not surprising because they did seem to spend a lot of time apart. And also, similar to what Padma said about not getting off to a good start. Still you don't wish divorce on anyone. 1 Link to comment

ChicksDigScars July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 I'm more shocked that news articles today saying that Miranda is the one who cheated (or rather that Blake suspected of her cheating...more than once). I would have put that on Blake. Maybe because of his hard partying image. Link to comment

Padma July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Don't know how true this is, but WOW! http://www.laineygossip.com/Her-Cheating-Heart-blind-riddle/40145 Doesn't quote anyone by name so, really, who knows? But I think it's interesting that Blake was the one who filed and how completely discretely it was done, including initials...different county...and protective order to ensure it remained private. Very classy and if you add it all up, it wouldn't surprise me if it's cheating or "alienation of affection" (and she's still with someone else) on Miranda's part. I really like him much more anyway (from what I've seen of both of them) so I kind of hope that he's the aggrieved part--and is over it, happily moving on--rather than the one at fault. (Actually, Miranda doesn't seem the quiet type if someone cheated on HER--she's so moody and so "fiery"--so that makes me think these kinds of articles may have something to them.) 3 Link to comment
PhD-Purgatory15 July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) At least one site (Rickey) announced today that the guest mentors for the Battle Rounds are set. They are Selena Gomez (Gwen), John Fogerty (Adam), Missy Elliott (Pharrell), and Brad Paisley for Team Blake. I like how the article highlights Selena as exceeding expectations as if they immediately knew they'd have to pre-empt critiques about her talent, or lack there of...and I also wonder if this might be a trial run for Paisley, if Blake starts eye-ing the door in the couple of years...

Padma August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 Wasn't Paisley on that show that was trying to imitate the Voice and had, I think Robin Thicke on it as well? Neither of those two were very good as judges. Although I'm sure Paisley will be okay in a limited role on The Voice, he seemed like kind of a jerk, if memory serves. Country, yes, but nothing like what Blake brings to the table personality-wise. I think someone like Kelly Clarkson would be a better replacement (and it wouldn't surprise me if the show offered it to Miranda), even though it might (gasp!) mean that two of the judges would be women. Link to comment
PhD-Purgatory15 August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 Yeah Paisley was on that Rising Star fiasco. He was a much better judge/mentor than Kesha was, although that's a pretty low bar to clear. Where Blake is the slightly drunk and gregarious life of the party....Brad has a much drier, snarky personality. He's an elite level guitar player too....whether that comes into play w/ any contestant on Blake's team remains to be seen... 1 Link to comment
waving feather August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 Kelly Clarkson I can see it happening. She has a very outgoing and bubbly personality. I don't think Miranda has the personality to pull it off though. Link to comment
Mattipoo August 4, 2015 Share August 4, 2015 Selena Gomez? What kind of fucked up world do we live in where she is suddenly talented and worthy of being a mentor on The Voice? 99% of the contestants are more talented than her. Link to comment
basiltherat August 4, 2015 Share August 4, 2015 Kelly Clarkson was a judge on the duets contest that Robin Thicke was on. She was fun, but the one that scored with two finalists was Jennifer Nettles, who would be a fantastic judge here as well. 1 Link to comment
Mattipoo August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 Who the hell is Jennifer Nettles? They need someone A-list. Maybe Madonna can be a judge since it looks like her singing career is dying. Link to comment
smlait August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 (edited) Jennifer Nettles is A-List in country circles (more famous as Blake was pre-Voice). She's the lead singer for Sugarland and has had decent success as a solo artist too. Most of the major women in country music at the moment are lead singers for groups rather than solo artists - which gives them less immediate name recognition (but plenty of face recognition - and you just say "Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland" until people get used to her on her own). Edited August 5, 2015 by smlait 1 Link to comment
Mattipoo August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 (edited) Sounds good, but I think if they were to have a female country singer as a judge, they should choose someone who is already well known even among non-country fans. Names that come to mind include Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Leann Rhimes, Dolly Parton (although maybe she is too old) and the singer from Dixie Chicks. Maybe even Allison Krauss?

viajero August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 I'm not into country music and even I know who Jennifer Nettles is. She's kind of like the Christina Aguilera of country when it comes to the pure power and precision of her voice. It's hard to think of anybody more suited to this show, at least in that respect. Jennifer Nettles 101 A classic: Something a bit less country (which may be why its one of my favorite of hers): Link to comment
Mattipoo August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 (edited) LOL if so I doubt Christina Aguilera will want to let Jennifer Nettles get on "The Voice" as a judge lest she outshines her!

ProudMary August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 (edited) For those who don't follow what's current in Country, I'd think that this is the video where most would be familiar with Jennifer Nettles. Edited August 10, 2015 by ProudMary Link to comment

Mattipoo August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 Rihanna is such a huge star that I think "The Voice" landed a casting coup by having her. Although I don't know how much she can really contribute in terms of imparting vocal skills, but then again if a b-list nobody like Selena Gomez can be a mentor, so can Rihanna. Link to comment
BogoGog24 August 17, 2015 Share August 17, 2015 I'm sure a lot of people were dubious when Taylor Swift was assigned as a mentor a season or 2 ago and she did an amazing job with all the contestants. Vocal ability doesn't necessarily equate ability to teach. Selena is no great singer but she has had a lot of experience performing and being in front of cameras. Perhaps she can offer advice to the 15 and 16 year olds. Link to comment
jjjmoss August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 I wasn't, because Taylor Swift is an amazing artist. Rather than just an ok singer. Link to comment
Mattipoo August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 (edited) yes Taylor Swift is an amazing artist because she actually writes and co-produces her own songs and had been really successful at it. Selena Gomez on the other hand, is a talentless puppet for the Disney star making machine who sings songs written for her and has no other discernible talent than to look pretty in front of the camera and do tons of drugs. Ditto Demi Lovato and Lindsay Lohan too. Edited August 30, 2015 by Mattipoo Link to comment
